The Raiders of the Lost Friendster



Malaysian OnLine (MOL) Group was the one that made a raid on Friendster and won the ownership of the company from such competitors as Facebook. After shifting the company to Asia, it milked the membership database and moved it to MOL. MOL then became a gaming portal that achieved tremendous sales from the Philippines to Indonesia,

Subsequently it sold patents to Facebook for a portion of its share.

When Facebook listed they saw the value of their shares soared to RM700 million.

The man that who helped Vincent Tan to do magic was Ganesh Kumar Bangah.
